The method comprises the following steps: guests can be registered at a reception through a guest terminating machine; afterguest registration is completed, the guest is introduced into an identification scope of a camera, the camera is used for taking pictures of the guests, a face image with best quality is extracted from a video stream transmitted by the camera by a face identification server, the face identification server compares a snapshotted head portrait with a photograph in a database; whether a door is opened or not is determined according to the comparison result, if the comparison is consistent, identification success is prompted, the doors can be simultaneously opened, if the comparison is inconsistent, the identification inconsistency is promoted, and the door cannot be opened. The invention provides a face identification intelligent greeting system. The original face identification gate inhibition security is kept, the access convenience is increased, a dynamic non-cooperation mode is employed for face verification, compared with a traditional card-swiping gate inhibition mode, the system ismore convenient, and due to uniqueness of the face characteristics, the problems of certificate forgetting and false certificate can be solved.
